(PASSIVE) Drunk-O-Meter
Bacchus loves the drink and as Bacchus drinks from his jug, he becomes more intoxicated. When he is Tipsy, he takes 5% less damage and gains +20 Physical Power. When he is Smashed, he takes 10% less damage and gains +40 Physical Power.

Chug
Bacchus takes a drink from his jug, filling his Drunk-O-Meter 22/28/34/40/46% and giving him a 10/15/20/25/30 physical power buff for 6s. Bacchus celebrates when he kills an enemy god, giving him 10% on his meter. Cost - 50/80/110/140/170 mana. Cooldown - 15s.

Belly Flop
Bacchus jumps into the air and, not so gracefully, comes slamming to the ground belly first, knocking all enemies into the air and dealing 90/130/170/210/250 (+70% of your magical power) magical damage. If he was Tipsy, all enemies are also slowed by 30% for 3s after they land. Cost - 70/75/80/85/90 mana. Cooldown - 16s.

Belch of the Gods
Bacchus lets out an obnoxiously loud belch, doing 20/35/50/65/80 (+15% of your magical power) magical damage every .5s for 2s. If you are Tipsy, enemies are stunned for 1s and their healing is debuffed by 50% for 3s at the end of the channel. Cost - 70/75/80/85/90 mana. Cooldown - 14s.

Intoxicate
Bacchus smashes his jug of wine on the ground, intoxicating all nearby enemies, doing 250/325/400/475/550 (+70% of your magical power) magical damage and slowing them by 20% for 8s. If he is Smashed, Bacchus also gains 35/50/65/80/95 physical power because of his anger over his lost wine! Cost - 95 mana. Cooldown - 90s.

Today I uploaded a video of myself playing Thor in arena with 4 of my friends. The focus of the video was the Ares/Ao Kuang/He Bo combination that my team ran with and how that worked out against a team who didn't buy the Aegis Amulet. It obviously resulted in the Kuang getting two Quadra kills, a triple, and a few doubles with the He Bo also getting a couple of doubles. In the video I shortly talked about how I disagree with Aegis Amulet breaking No Escape and I want to go into a little more detail here.

Yesterday, Hi-rez Studios, the creators of Global Agenda, Tribes: Ascend, and Smite released a rather large game changing patch for Smite. The patch included a new god, the Norse Trickster God, Loki, a reworking of the ability item system, and a new game mode. This new game mode is called Arena and is taking the focus on player vs player combat to a new extreme.
